Chapter 139
It was to the point of getting tired of the Balkan Empire’s soldiers who came down several times once the battle was in a state of lull. Do they really think that they can overcome if they randomly push the soldiers in? If there was Balzar, that would never happen… I really couldn’t figure it out.
“The soldiers are pitiful. I really don’t know what the nobles are thinking.”
“I see… Our empire must have been like that, too, right? Perhaps the immature who only covets balls will become a commander. Should we call it a power struggle?”
“Well… It might be an opportunity to become a higher-ranking aristocrat by making a contribution.”
“Well, it’s a story that has nothing to do with us… But it was a princess and a princess being sold, right? Of course, I struggled to escape from that bondage and became a master knight like this…”
He was probably thinking of her sister. She does… She is her younger sister who, unlike herself, is the target of an arranged marriage. She thinks she’s being sold instead of Emilia’s older sister, so she must be worried.
“By the way, where is Balzar? I think it’s about time to come out… How long are you going to eat only soldiers?”
“Um… I don’t know. Because Balzar is better at strategy and tactics than I am. The last time I was hurt by Mia was because I was really careless…”
“Well… Balzar must have gone through a war, but it was so easy back then. I won’t be vigilant anymore… I really regret it, I should have caught it then…”
At that time, I didn’t think that Balzar had Guts. In the end, I came here to meet you again like Balzar said… It was a bit bittersweet. Emilia’s older sister seemed to agree with me, nodding her head.
“Let’s try harder. If you beat the Balkans like this, it will come out someday.”
“Okay. Let’s do our best Let’s end this war quickly.”
As if the war was one of the things that bothered her, Emilia’s sister was also a bit weak. After all, war always seemed to be stressful. That’s how she started to push the imperial army out little by little. Is it because of Talon’s elves? Well, each of them had their own strength, so it was like that as well.
“Haa… The best warrior of the elves was Guts… I really miss him. Katz…”
The more I pushed away the imperial army, the more I thought of Guts. A little now… A little further. Thinking like that made me feel impatient. Perhaps feeling my impatience, Emilia unnie said as if comforting.
“Don’t worry. Missing child. We’ll get Guts back soon. So you don’t have to worry so much.”
“Yes. I think so. But I’m worried that Balzar might be cheating on something. I wish I could get hold of it easily…”
“Even if Balzar is at the top of Master Knight, our strength will suffice. The three of us or even that elf are four, right? That’s enough. No, it’s full of power.”
“I know that, but… I’m kind of uneasy.”
Where does this anxiety come from? The more Balzar was out of sight, the more uneasiness seemed to grow. But I couldn’t turn back from here. Didn’t you just look ahead and run? There was no turning back now.
“By the way, the sword has become quite strong. Don’t you think you’re as strong as Emilia?”
“I see… Is combat experience a problem? Maybe it would be better for me to fight like that… The more you experience real battles, the faster your level will rise.”
He seems to feel a little jealous of Carl, who almost caught up with him. Well, when I think of Carl’s old self, I feel a little resentful and mysterious. When he was small and cute, he was much weaker than he is now, but at any age, he has grown so strong and strong. You may be feeling out of place…
“Now the battle seems to be going into a lull. The imperial army doesn’t even want to come out of the camp… Would it be good to surprise? How long do you really want to go to war…”
It was enough to make use of the people who were all over the food problem. The same goes for gene collection… But the problem was the mental strength that was almost cut off. Can’t we continue to lead the war like this for a month and a half, a year?
“I’ll have to tell you when Carl and Talon come. This war will easily end if we take out the leaders in an ambush at night.”
“Will it work out like that? Anyway, the enemy’s leadership who are fighting right now doesn’t seem to have any special power… It might be a parachute. But if you hit the leadership… Wouldn’t it change to guys with more military knowledge?”
“Hmm… That’s a problem too. Haa~ I’m really worried because I can’t do this or that.”
I was more worried that it would be as Emilia unnie said. In the end, it seemed that it would be better to cut the opponent’s power with an all-out war rather than a surprise attack. If you do that, one day you will be able to choke the enemy. I wish that time would come sooner… But in a defensive battle like this, it seemed impossible.
“Ultimately, defense is the problem. Aren’t the imperial troops provided with proper armor and weapons? But the monsters… Just naked. Or maybe the weapon you picked up… Although each person is strong… After all, it might be difficult to fight for a long time.”
“That too. If the opponent comes out defensive like that, it’s not easy to kill the opponent as a monster. If it’s dangerous, don’t you get out and switch with another soldier?”
It really was. In case of danger, the enemy side could switch over, but the demons just recklessly pushed their bodies into it. In the end, if one person died, two or three people died on this side. Of course, since each individual was a strong monster, it was possible to reduce the enemy’s stamina a lot… But it was difficult to do this.
“It’s fortunate that there are elves at least. Are they still organized? They go out to intercept on the battlefield where they are at a disadvantage… After all, I think calling them was a good thing.”
“Yes. Without those elves, there might not have been an answer at all… After all, an empire is an empire.”
Wouldn’t it be rotten? It was an opponent that was incomparable to a duchy or kingdom. This might really take a few months.
“I can’t wait that long… Ugh~ Besides, the number of first-generation monsters is decreasing, so it’s not so easy to secure power, right? However, if the Empire side gives armor and weapons to the people of the Empire in moderation, soldiers will come out… The longer it takes, the worse it will be.”
I thought it would be easy to win, but the reality was the opposite. No matter how powerful the monsters were, if their organizational power was weak, they would be useless power. After all, the army had to be organized even if it was a little weak.
Time passed again like that, and the Imperial Army, the monsters, and us got tired. I never thought the war would be so sluggish. It was because both the defending side and the attacking side accumulated fatigue.
“It can’t go on like this. Even if the enemy’s leadership changes, it’s better to make a surprise attack.”
“Okay. Don’t do that. I didn’t even know that the war would last this long. It would be nice to cool the enemy’s heart with a surprise attack.”
Even for Talon, this kind of war seemed boring. Well, to Talon, who hates humans, it might be painful to have no choice but to look at so many humans in front of him.
“Missing child. Are you really okay? Then, if a leader who is really good at strategy and tactics arrives… The war will be more difficult, right?”
“Still, I think it’s better than being sluggish like now. Wouldn’t it be better to have an all-out war? In the meantime, Balzar might come out.”
It was Emilia’s sister who nodded her head in agreement with my words. She seemed to want to return to the end of the war as soon as possible rather than the old war like now. I am also like that. She wanted to get Guts back and enjoy a peaceful life.
“Then let’s do a surprise attack in the evening. I don’t think the Imperial Army will launch a surprise attack, so this surprise attack will be effective.”
“Then, would it be good for the number of people to mix the elves, us gathered here, and a little bit of the monsters?”
“The monsters are noisy, so it’s not a good strategy for an ambush. So, it would be better to surprise us alone. Ordinary soldiers can be bewitched by my seduction power. Isn’t the rest of the knights a problem?”
“They let us do it. Then, let Emilia, Carl, and Mia take down the leader.”
“Good. Let’s do it. Make sure everyone gets plenty of rest until evening.
There was still quite a bit of time until evening, but I still had to get ready and rest from now on. Otherwise, the evening raid might fail.
“Then Mia. Rest, please. Whoops. You still have about a day left in a month, right? As it is the last day, shouldn’t we enjoy it properly?”
“Ugh… Shouldn’t we rest? If there’s anything wrong with the evening raid…”
“What do you see me as? Don’t ignore the elves. Everyone is full of energy in the forest. You can have fun with Mia and rest for an hour in the forest to recover your energy.”
In the end, it seemed that he intended to use me until the very end. I didn’t like it… But wasn’t it a product of a bet? It was an order that could not be refused. Besides, I couldn’t help but mention the duty of a high elf.
“Instead… Finish it quickly. Because I have to adjust my condition.”
“Whoops! Good! Ruler. Did you all hear? Let’s enjoy it until the evening raid!”
“Wow!!”
With cheers, I am becoming naked among the elves. And it was the elves watching it. In the end, he was tormented by the elves until just before evening.
“Ughh~ Haa… They said it was done quickly…”
“Mia was so passionate that she couldn’t finish it. Hehe~ This is Mia’s fault. What makes everyone look full of energy? Is this also the power of the high elves? Well… Elves and high elves get along well, so that’s probably the case.”
The power of the high elves seemed to be revealed one by one. Somehow, the elves and the other elves were full of motivation… It would only make me a little tired, but everyone seemed to have no problem with the evening raid. Besides, since I was a high elf, I would get tired if I rested for a while.
“Then prepare and come out.”
“Ah. Mia should get some rest too. I’ll see you later.”
I was finally freed by the elves and was able to breathe a little. A little later, they were planning to conduct a surprise attack on the headquarters of the Imperial Army. Emilia unnie and Carl were waiting for me as if they were ready.
“Missing child. Are you okay? You look a little weak…”
“Yes. Because of the high elf’s duty and wager… I’m a bit tired, but it’s bearable. Besides, this fatigue will be relieved in a little while, so don’t worry.”
“Okay? Glad then It’s going to be a surprise attack, but it’ll be difficult if you’re exhausted before you even go.”
“The elves decided to harass me… Uhh~ I think they did it to the point of getting sick of it.”
I wasn’t satisfied enough, but it seemed like it was taking a long time.
